Upper School Summer Studies

The Gulliver Preparatory Upper School is excited to offer a summer program that provides unique academic opportunities which combine intensive academics, small-group learning, and individual attention in one- to six-week courses. With options ranging from a full slate of math classes, to perennial favorites like American Foreign Policy & Model UN (Advanced) and Field Studies in Marine Science, to new courses such as the Science Skills Symposium, there’s an opportunity for everyone.

Some classes such as the Reading and Writing Lab, are designed to hone critical skills that help students achieve success as they transition into the Upper School’s rigorous academic program, while others like Storytelling for Business Honors, seek to stimulate curiosity and connections across disciplines while developing self-advocacy and independent learning skills in preparation for post-secondary coursework.

Such courses as the College Application Essay Writing Workshop for rising seniors will focus on the development of the college essay with an emphasis on organization, creativity, economy of words, and personal story while And don’t forget: pursuing credit-bearing courses during the summer enables students to accommodate more electives during the regular school year.
